The Department of Biochemistry was inaugurated in 1998. Initially located inside the campus of Fisheries Department, Beach Road, the department was shifted to the present Medical College block in 3rd Mile, Thoothukudi during the year 2001. The first batch of MBBS students was admitted during the academic year 2000-2001. The infrastructure of this department includes separate rooms for Professor, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, Lab Technicians, Non-Teaching Staff, demonstration halls, well planned & equipped laboratories and such facilities as per MCI norms. The department library is provided with adequate supply of books and journals, national and international.
